Genes affected
BRCA1 (HGNC:1100): (BRCA1 DNA repair associated) This gene encodes a 190 kD nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The BRCA1 gene contains 22 exons spanning about 110 kb of DNA. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). This gene product associates with RNA polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks, and recombination. Mutations in this gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing plays a role in modulating the subcellular localization and physiological function of this gene. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which are disease-associated mutations, have been described for this gene, but the full-length natures of only some of these variants has been described. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 17, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.2e-05 in 251384 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0008 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (5.2e-05 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.4837A>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (Majdak_2005, D'Argenio_2015, Cifuentes-C_2019, Cecener_2020). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and showed that this variant is likely not pathogenic (Woods_2016, Fernandes_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18992264, 31706072, 32284662, 15004537, 25896959, 30765603, 15617999, 9326340, 15350310, 28781887). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37613). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Malignant tumor of breast Benign:1
Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The BRCA1 p.Ser1613Cys variant was identified in 1 of 140 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.007) from individuals or families with breast cancer (D'Argenio 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (rs1799966) as “other”, in ClinVar with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity (5 submitters, classified as Likely Benign by Invitae, Ambry, and GeneDx, classified as Uncertain Significance by BIC and as Benign by the Sharing Clinic Reports Project), in Clinvitae (classified as Likely benign as reported in ClinVar) and in BIC (4x classified as unknown), the Fanconi Anemia Mutation Database (3x classified as predicted neutral) databases. The variant was also identified in the control database the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) in 8 of 121360 chromosomes (freq. 0.00007), all cases were seen in the African population specifically 8 of 10406 chromosomes (freq. 0.0008), increasing the likelihood that this may be a low frequency benign variant. The variant was not identified in the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, the ARUP Laboratories BRCA Mutations Database, COSMIC, GeneInsight COGR, and UMD. Functional studies initially reported the p.Ser1613Cys variant to be disease causing based on a transcription activation assay performed in yeast (Monteiro 1997). However a more recent and more sensitive transcriptional assay reported the p.Ser1613Cys variant to be likely neutral and noted that the sensitivity of the previous assay was likely the reason for the conflicting results (Carvalho 2009). The p.Ser1613 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. Moreover this locus is the known site of a common polymorphism in BRCA1 p.Ser1613Gly (identified in 35% of cases in ExAC) and classified as Benign by our laboratory. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
